Facebook Exec Set to Drop Bombshell in Senate Testimony

Gorodenkoff

A former Facebook executive is about to expose the company’s dark dealings with Communist China—and the revelations could rock Capitol Hill.

Sarah Wynn-Williams, who served as Facebook’s Director of Global Public Policy from 2011 to 2018, is set to testify Wednesday afternoon before the Senate Judiciary’s Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism Subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Her opening statement—already obtained by RedState—is as explosive as it gets.

Wynn-Williams is pulling back the curtain on Meta’s multi-year mission to curry favor with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), even if it meant betraying American values and potentially compromising national security.

“Throughout those seven years, I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine U.S. national security and betray American values,” she says in her prepared remarks. “They did these things in secret to win favor with Beijing and build an $18 billion dollar business in China.”

Her testimony details how Facebook worked “hand in glove” with the CCP to build censorship tools. According to Wynn-Williams, the company not only suppressed critics of the regime but even deleted the account of a Chinese dissident—living on U.S. soil—at the direct request of Beijing. Even worse, Meta then allegedly lied to Congress when asked about the incident in a Senate hearing.

Perhaps most alarming is her account of “Project Aldrin”—a covert Meta initiative designed to help the company break into the Chinese market. The plan involved building a physical data pipeline between the U.S. and China, which internal warnings made clear would allow the CCP to intercept private data and messages of American users.

“There was no bridge too far,” she said. “Meta executives ignored warnings that this would provide backdoor access to the Chinese Communist Party.”

Wynn-Williams claims the only reason that data pipeline didn’t fully go live was because Congress intervened.

Sen. Hawley teased the hearing on X last week, calling the forthcoming testimony “big news” and promising a public reckoning over Facebook’s actions. “Facebook’s cooperation with the Communist regime in China” will be the focus, he wrote, adding that the company had plans “to build censorship tools, punish dissidents, and make American user data available to the CCP.”

Zuckerberg and Meta have lately tried to rebrand themselves. Since Trump returned to office, they’ve pledged to eliminate “fact-checkers” and scale back their “misinformation” teams, even modeling new tools after Elon Musk’s Community Notes system. There’s also been talk of Zuckerberg trying to mend fences with Trump, with reports of private meetings and million-dollar donations to Trump’s inauguration fund.

But if Wynn-Williams’ account is true, that PR campaign is nothing but window dressing.

The real story, according to her, is that Meta secretly aligned itself with a hostile foreign power while publicly claiming to defend free speech. And it wasn’t just internal betrayal—it was allegedly criminal deception directed at Congress.

“When Beijing demanded that Facebook delete the account of a prominent Chinese dissident living on American soil, they did it,” she will testify. “And then lied to Congress when asked about the incident.”

That’s a bombshell accusation of perjury—something Congress may now investigate further.

With tensions between the U.S. and China already high, these revelations couldn’t come at a more critical moment. If confirmed, they will vindicate the long-held suspicions of conservatives that Big Tech hasn’t just silenced Americans—they’ve also cozied up to the world’s most dangerous authoritarian regime to do it.

The question now: Will Congress finally take action?
